Currently, all Flutter threads are managed by the engine itself. This works for
all threads except the platform thread. On this thread, the engine cannot see
the underlying event multiplexing mechanism. Using the new task runner
interfaces, the engine can relinquish the task of setting up the event
multiplexing mechanism and instead have the embedder provide one for it during
setup.
This scheme is only wired up for the platform thread. But, the eventual goal
is to expose this message loop interoperability for all threads.
This allows for the specification of std::functions (using EmbedderContext::NativeEntry) with their captures as native entrypoints. Earlier, only C functions we allowed which meant that there were no captures and assertions had to use globals which could introduce bugs when used with gtest_repeat.
Previously the transformation matrix returned on semantics nodes was
fetched by matrix col,row (incorrectly). This uses the SkMatrix
constants instead and adds a test.
Flutter's accessibility APIs consist of three main calls from the
embedder to the Dart application:
1. FlutterEngineUpdateSemanticsEnabled: enables/disables semantics support.
2. FlutterEngineUpdateAccessibilityFeatures: sets embedder-specific
accessibility features.
3. FlutterEngineDispatchSemanticsAction: dispatches an action (tap,
long-press, scroll, etc.) to a semantics node.
and two main callbacks triggered by Dart code:
1. FlutterUpdateSemanticsNodeCallback: notifies the embedder of
updates to the properties of a given semantics node.
2. FlutterUpdateSemanticsCustomActionCallback: notifies the embedder
of updates to custom semantics actions registered in Dart code.
In the Flutter framework, when accessibility is first enabled, the
embedder will receive a stream of update callbacks notifying the
embedder of the full semantics tree. On further changes in the Dart
application, only updates will be sent.
As of the migration to Dart 2, it has been necessary to compile Dart to
kernel prior to execution. The embedder currently requires that the
resulting kernel file be named `kernel_blob.bin` and be located at the
root of the assets directory passed to the embedder API.
This patch updates the test_fixtures build rule to perform a kernel
compile using frontend_server, outputting `kernel_blob.bin` to
`fixtures/test_target_name` directory, and updates the embedder
unittests to specify the kernel file rather than the Dart source file.
Since the kernel compiler requires a `main()` function to be defined, it
also updates `simple_main.dart` from runtime_unittests to define
`main()` rather than `simple_main()`.
This also updates all existing sub-targets to be testonly.
This relands commit ac9e521a1ddbb99816a93d92ce9fb70e950b3763, which was
reverted in commit 494112582932af98b282617d7a34b1fbb8c90307. Rather than
running as prebuilt_dart_action, we use dart_action to ensure the
frontend snapshot it compatible with the VM on which it's executed.
This reverts commit ac9e521a1ddbb99816a93d92ce9fb70e950b3763.
This broke dynamic release mode builds of
//flutter/runtime:runtime_fixtures_kernel (likely all product-mode
builds).
